"A force for good", David Astle (DA)

DA on the 17/18th of September, 2010

RC is a mountain goat and got me thinking that climbing Pão de Açúcar rather than taking the air lift would be a great idea. Alas, I puffed, I spluttered and I ached and only made it about a quarter of the way up before deciding the view was good enough from where we were to sit and crack out an old DA overlooking Guanabara bay in Rio.

We didn’t quite finish the crossie but we got close, and the vista was well worth my sweat and tears.
